Hello!
Below are 4 announcements from FTDNA.
FTDNA has extended the matching gifts for the Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA
General Fund until the end of November. If you can spare $5.00, $10.00 or
even $25.00 it would help!
If you would like to donate in the name of some one, We can honor that! If
some one - business type? - would like the Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA General
Fund named after them - We can honor that too!
I am working on a nice certificate for those that donate!
The Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA Project web page has been updated! See ...

I hope every one has survived the Elections and Halloween! I'm looking
forward to Thanksgiving!
Is it not amazing that Our Founding Fathers chose to have National Elections
on the first Tuesday of November - just after Halloween and All Saints Day!?
I guess this allows the politicians to trick and treat us for a while ...
I guess in days of yore, like today, some times if would take a while for
the votes to be counted and certified state by state in the Electoral
College. Is it not truly prescient of Our Founding Fathers to give us a Day
of Thanksgiving on the last Thursday of November after the dust has
settled?!
Take care everyone!

Subject: Four announcements
To Carpenter group manager,
a) Matching gift and more: after the launch of the General Fund, many of
you e-mailed me and asked if it would be possible for contributions to be
made in memory, or in honor of a specific person. Others asked if the
entire General Fund could be named in memory of a specific person. Our
answer is yes to both alternatives. We are adding a field in the ordering
page in case you want to honor a specific person with your donation. And,
in case you want your entire General Fund to be named after someone,
please let me know, and I will create a specific Contribution page that
will have the person's name. In conjuction with that, we are continuing
our matching gift offer until the end of
November;(www.familytreedna.com/contribution.html)
b) mtDNA promotion: Responding to our customers' requests, we have decided
to extend the promotion on the mtDNA tests and bundles to the end of
November. Please make your participants or potential participants aware of
this extension; (

c) The same is valid fo our "Haplogroup Challenge", which will also be
offered for $50 until the end of November: if we are wrong in our
prediction of any testee's Haplogroup, we will test until we have the
correct Haplogroup assigned;
a) Our newest updated version of the Y-chromosome Haplogroup chart that
was presented at our Conference is now for sale. It is a color coded wall
chart. You can see it and order at the Haplogroup area of the personal
pages;
Thank you for your continued support!
